Here's a very different wall coat rack from Selki-asema. timer and eggs

Eva Solo's magnetic kitchen timer is only one of the products worth a glance; also take a look at the wine rack, the knife magnets, the knife stand, the towel peg, the memo board and the waste bin.

  1. I've been reading your blog for a while, but I also just started reading apartment therapy (partially because you always feature their stuff).

    Hopefully I'll get better at organizing and decluttering!

  2. Nice to hear from you, graduatedlearning! My brother and sister-in-law are MIT alums, too.

    Apartment Therapy is one of the best blogs out there for becoming aware of furnishings with a modern look.

    It's a very active blog - over 50 posts/day if you combine all the cities, and much more if you include the four sister blogs for the kitchen, the nursery, home technology, and green home. I find something related to storage or organizing almost every day.
